Media Create Sales 12/26-01/01 It's Real Bitches

"The idea of a handheld rivalry with Nintendo is an irrelevance, those formats don't appear in our planning. It's not a fair comparison; not fair on them, I should stress. That sounds arrogant, maybe, but it's the truth." Which might sting more if the PSP was not being outsold by almost a million in Japan to the Nintendo DS. Other quotes worthy of mention include:

"With the DS, it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen, but I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that."

"Nintendo knows its target audience, because it has really narrowed that down; and it's pretty much defined by a boy or girl's ability to admire Pokemon."

Phil Harrison, Sony America, 4 months ago.

im glad to see that as usual my highest expectations for this thread have been shattered. case and point:

OMG. :lol :lol :lol :lol

i must say though, the swiftness of divine retribution Sony fans issue if and when PSP overtakes DS in Japan, at any point if ever, will make threads like this all the more classic. :p

delusion FTW

pika ;)
 
Does anyone keep track of the full top 50 from week to week? Did Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner for PSP even place in there last week?
 
Interesting to note that GBASP sales are down by a little under 2 Million for 2005, and 1.5 Million or so if you factor in the GB micro. I wonder if the GBA lineup can pull another 1 Million in 2006. I guess that depends on if Nintendo releases the bright lit SPs over there or drops the price. It's possible GBA might even outsell DS temporarily with the shortages as people might get a GBA as a substitute.
 
:lol :lol @ the last one.

"I shall call him Mini-Kutaragi!"

He just needs the finger thing and it'll be perfect.
